Posi-Tone Swingtet: In Jazz We Trust
by Joshua Weiner
The Posi-Tone Records label, founded and run by producer Marc Free and engineer Nick O'Toole, celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025.

Posi-Tone Swingtet: In Jazz We Trust
by Dan Bilawsky
In the mid-'90s, when Posi-Tone released its first album, the recording industry landscape was completely different than it is today.

Nanami Haruta: The Vibe
by Dan McClenaghan
The news of a trombonist fronting a small jazz ensemble brings the name J.J. Johnson (1924-2001) to mind. He pioneered that form of jazz expression. Before he stepped onto the scene the big brass horn stayed mainly in the background, eclipsed by trumpets and saxophones. Many have followed in Johnson's footsteps: Curtis Fuller, Steve ...
Nanami Haruta: The Vibe
by Willard Jenkins
Unlike other members of the family of western instruments, the ranks of the trombone are a bit exclusive--perhaps even more exclusive in the art of the improvisers, the jazz landscape. Which is yet more reason to celebrate the arrival of a new trombone voice in jazz music. Her name is Nanami Haruta and she arrives at ...
